I was blown away by Montevideo this past November. It has that bohemian, artsy vibe that I love about San Telmo but you feel like you are in a beach town. I’d been through the city a number of times on my way to the beaches further east, but I...

From our favorite food blogger ever, I’m reposting her long and fabulous list of great restaurants in Lima, Peru. Because Allie is our favorite food blogger and because Lima!!! We are dying to go there (and eat there). In Love with Lima Part 1:...

Argentina has made it to the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time since 1990. Are you going to watch the match against The Netherlands today? If so, find an Argentine flag (that shouldn’t be hard to do since it’s also July 9, w...

It’s been a year of big changes over here at San Telmo Loft. Not a lot of blogging has happened, but our vacation rentals in Buenos Aires have been running full steam ahead. And we are excited about some fabulous additions coming soon. One ch...

The iconic Loft, our first vacation rental, is how our story begins. It had to match the vibe of San Telmo, and it does: bohemian, soulful, loved. It's our most romantic spot (honeymoon haven), and, like our other vacation rentals, quiet, stylish, a...

Some restaurants and shops close for part of or all of January, but there’s still plenty to do. Every summer, the city of Buenos Aires puts on an outdoor festival called La Ciudad al Aire Libre: Cultura para Respirar (The City Outdoors: Culture to Breathe). Rock, jazz, tango, theater, cinema, aerial tango dancers, I’ll highlight a few of the upcoming events below.

Rowdy folklore and dancing, skillful horsemanship, manly gauchos (Argentinean cowboys), inexhaustible amounts of grilled meat, empanadas, and other regional foods, fairly priced and beautifully handcrafted arts & crafts. Oh, yes. I do love the Feria de Mataderos. It’s one of my favorite Sunday activities in Buenos Aires. Watch our video to see if you want to add Mataderos to your list of things to do in Buenos Aires.

Some tango-loving friends of mine introduced me to La Jaula Abierta, a really cool spot for live music (watch our video below) here in San Telmo. It’s in a small, intimate bar right above Cafe Rivas on Estados Unidos and Balcarce, just a few blocks away from San Telmo Loft.

In preparation for the Boca vs. River match, e superclasico, we decided to learn some of the most popular Boca chants. We've linked to audio files and have listed English translations of the chants. Dale Bo'!

What Our Guests Say

"We have rented many excellent apartments around the world during our travels, but The Loft may just be our favorite. It is situated perfectly in the heart of San Telmo, where a Bohemian vibe is tangible. Angela was always accessible and extremely helpful. We highly recommend the apartment and can not say enough good things about Angela."
